Summary

💥 JOIN THE WAITLIST for DEFENSE

My brand-new 8-week program is coming soon!
DEFENSE is for those who want to get ahead of the spiral — before the binge, the drift, or the regret even begins.
Because the best offense? It’s a great defense.

➡️ Get on the waitlist now

If you’ve ever said, “I want this so badly — why can’t I just follow through?” — this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we’re breaking down why motivation will never be enough to create consistency — and what actually works instead. From personalized systems and smart structure to emotional discipline and strategic defense, this episode walks you through the tools that really move the needle.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why motivation fades — and what to build instead
The difference between systems and structure (and why both matter)
How to practice discipline when you truly don’t care
The role of course correction in consistency (and how to plan for it)
What "playing defense" actually means — and how it changes everything

🚨 Applications open next week for Elizabeth’s brand-new, 8-week high-touch program focused entirely on helping you run the play. No more “great plans” that fall apart. We’re building strategic defense — in your life, your goals, and your mindset.

0:07.1	Consistent, a podcast by Primal Potential that is for all of you who feel frustrated by your lack of
0:13.3	progress or overwhelmed by all the change that you want to make in your life. Here, we stop frantically
0:20.5	chasing new habits and start
0:22.6	strategically building a structure of consistency. Let's get into it. Hello everybody and
0:31.0	welcome back to the primal potential podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton so pumped to talk about today's

0:44.8	This is for you.
0:46.4	But before we get into that conversation, which I can't wait to have, I want to remind you

0:54.7	It is very new.
0:55.8	And I know for the 20 people who say yes to this, it is going to transform not just the rest
1:02.5	of their 25, but the rest of their life.
1:06.5	So next week, I'm opening up applications for this brand new program called defense,

1:20.5	offense is a good defense. If you are tired of making plans that sound great, but they just don't

1:29.3	goals, all the intentions, all the ideas, but you can't get off the starting line or you can't
1:34.5	get to the finish line, this is for you. Sometimes I like to give examples that aren't tied to
1:40.2	things that feel really personal and sensitive to us, like our food and our fitness or our money,
